Another industrial video
Not so long ago, we were shown how Intel makes processors labeled chips.
Even then, I regretted that the most interesting moment of production was practically not shown.
However, this is understandable: it is not easy to remove the way closed cabinets work so that it is interesting to watch.
It seems to me that the guys from Lexar Media did it. At least the memory production process is shown in the correct order :)
In the video you can see the same robotic trolleys for transferring cassettes with substrates, mentioned in the iblesq comments, which replaced the girls on the lines.

Some interesting facts from the video:
1) The cycle of production of a single chip takes about a month and requires 800 operations
This means, for example, that if at each operation the probability of marriage is only 0.1 percent, then the yield of good chips will be only 45% (and therefore you can safely go bankrupt, because you need at least 90%).
2) In the video they say that Micron is the only company that produces memory in the United States. Still there is a Samsung with a factory in Austin.
3) All packaging (which was shown to us in the Intel video) comes in Asia (in this case, in Korea, judging by the inscriptions on the equipment). The final stages are most likely in general in China.
4) And, of course, smiled the words that everything was checked manually for better quality assurance .
